tbh, I'm not surprised. As long as you pay attention to the tones you use, Synthwave does a great job of leaving a LOT of space to play with for a guitarist. Because the 80's style of Retrowave in particular harkens back to 80's pop, you get a really good base to throw some killer guitar licks on top of, because original 80's pop had guitar all over it while having synth piano etc in it. I mean EVH did the "Beat It" solo right?
@@MikaelTorseth Then just make a how to vid, it would probably get a lot of views, I will make the tabs myself. Be a master, get the attention, leave the boring tab making to me.
Always the best metal guitar solos from those metal bands came along with their balads that is what I liked from the metal bands as they were able to create beautiful harmonious pieces of art like their balads and guitar solos perfect as well for synthwave songs!!
Absolutely incredible work!!! Amazing cover! You added personality without making the song one giant guitar riff. I’ve seen so many other covers of this that drown out the whole song with overwhelming guitar work. Skilled but over done. Yours is just right. Keep it up
Holy shit bro, instant sub. My buddy and I jam on The Midnight all the time and I'm really digging this version you've got going here. Will definitely be stealing from this on my next jam 👍
just follow note by note at 50 or 75%! approsimate where the fret playing hand is and find the right string. I've barely started playing but thats how i have to learn this since some songs arent made into tutorial. You'll get the hang of it just gotta find the notes by ear :)
@@MikaelTorseth that's a great guitar indeed! ehy i sub to your channel to stay tuned, by the way :D i hope you'll sub to mine as well, if you want! greetings :D
Thanks! Well, I don't really do lessons as of now, but I might in the future. I have a long summer vacation coming up, I might do something then. Would you be interested?
That's amazing to hear! I will definitely do more of these in the future, from other synthwave artists as well, like FM-84, Ollie Wride, Gunship and Michael Oakley as well.
Is there somehow anyway you can help me setup this sound? Im running a marshall dsl20 CR amp. And im nog even close on getting this type of sound. Is there a specifik pedal or how do I get this clean looking sound? Best regards!
It's funny how so many of us metal heads have huge love for synthwave.

This song kills us the fanatic “1 genre” lmao
Synthwave is the new Metal
It’s the melody of the guitars too. Super orchestral.
Yep! Earlier my Playlist randomed from Manowar "Gods made heavy metal" to The Midnight's Lost Boy!
This cover is so good that even the cat wanted to appear in the video.
Great cover !!
He can't keep away from the camera!
Excelent version, I love the sound, killer!! keep playing covers like this bro!
you got a like!
First I thought you were Sam Totman, nice cover Mikael! :)
Now this is something I somehow never expect to stumble on but man this is great
Nice to see other headbangers love Synthwave music!
Thanks! A lot of my metalhead friends love synthwave. It's powerful and authentic music with strong melodies!
Please lesson videos and tabs!! I wanna jam along to one of my favourite synthwave songs too
I appreciate your interest, but I rarely make tabs for what I play!

@@mr.toadstool3704 Please do a tab friend this song is killer, PD: happy day
You basically got the tutorial right in front of you
@@MikaelTorseth ah, guess we’ll never know then 😂 sick
Cats always seems to steal the show. Great cover!
Yes, they need the attention. Thanks!
СУпер исполнение, не бросай, успехов!
sounded great -- nice Jackson!
Your Jackson killed me today , what a feel
Absolutely sending chills down my spine. Wow.
Edit: This is too good. Spotify please. Lfg!
Bro that tone is SOLID. Fantastic! Really really great stuff.
haha your face when see the cat XD, nice cover bro:)
Cool that a metalhead like yourself likes this music. Long live Pantera
Love it!!! One if my favs ❤
Great cover! Also loving the Power Metal t-shirt
That's the best Pantera album!
Thais vídeo is perfect a metalhead playing synthwave and the colaboration of the Cat :>
Great Cover man!
Always the best metal guitar solos from those metal bands came along with their balads that is what I liked from the metal bands as they were able to create beautiful harmonious pieces of art like their balads and guitar solos perfect as well for synthwave songs!!
Nice cover, well done ! 👍
I love the sound of your guitar 🎸
Perfect
the chorus chord progression is especially killer, def something I'd be refreshed / pumped to hear in a live performance. They should adopt this.
Thanks a lot! If they called me up I'd happily join them on tour!
3:33 that tail scared me
Absolutely incredible work!!! Amazing cover! You added personality without making the song one giant guitar riff. I’ve seen so many other covers of this that drown out the whole song with overwhelming guitar work. Skilled but over done. Yours is just right. Keep it up
Thank you for making me cry with your guitar today , made me so emotional , you are exceptionally great 👍
Absolutely brilliant!
Wow That awsome my friend you rock !! Keep it up and stay Safe my Friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought to myself wow this dude is a straight up amazing guitar player no question about it
Cat was a great addition
lmao Was that you're cat? Anyway, nice cover, mate. Jackson and Ibanez have some nice tones.
absolutely killed it 💓
Damn your eyes and your stringy talents. This sounds better than the original.
Where the hell I've been all those years before i see this video.. Nice cover & guitar play... I really need this guitar tutorial...
just follow note by note at 50 or 75%! approsimate where the fret playing hand is and find the right string. I've barely started playing but thats how i have to learn this since some songs arent made into tutorial. You'll get the hang of it just gotta find the notes by ear :)
Wow ! Way to go man... True guitarist who can play anything... Amaaaazing ! 👍🏼✌🏼
very cool cover man, you have nice skills! beautiful jackson, thumb up :D
Thanks a lot! Yeah, I love the RR1!
@@MikaelTorseth that's a great guitar indeed! ehy i sub to your channel to stay tuned, by the way :D i hope you'll sub to mine as well, if you want! greetings :D
You are insanely talented.
This is actually amazing.
Killer job, dude. You nailed the tone. Are you using an amp or a sim?
Thanks! I'm using a sim, Bias FX 2.
@MikaelTorseth do you remember how you got those sounds ?
Great job, mate ! 👍
bro I'm dying to learn this song bro.You played it so perfectly too.
Awesome! My third favorite instrument after the saxophone and harp.
This is crazy good dude! Greetings from a fellow metal head!😎🤘🏻
Nice 👍
i love your cover! Keep it up!!! :)
Could you do a full power ballade version of the song?
Superb
Amazing
Thanks!
You should tour live with them! So good!
BTW guitar noob here.. could someone tell me the difference between the 2 guitars he uses ?
They sound pretty much the same, as the pickup's the same, but they feel a bit different. I just wanted to use as many guitars as possible!
Wow 🤩 👍 genial this music
Nice dude
Can u tell me this effect setting in boss gt 100?? Thankyou
Wowzers
Thanks!
Great job bro you sound like EVH🤘😉
We need a tutorial or tabs 😭
Nice skills Buddy:) you are talented :)
Thanks!
Thanks for listening! Where Do I sign up for lessons?!
Thanks! Well, I don't really do lessons as of now, but I might in the future. I have a long summer vacation coming up, I might do something then. Would you be interested?
Yes yes yes
@@MikaelTorseth yeah possibly. I have always wondered how effective theyd be online, but maybe you know more about that than I do lol.
It's All about the passion! Insta sub!
This is now vanhalen approved :P
Fucking yes.. you nailed it bruv ❤
😍😍
How do ppl know how to play this I can’t even find a tutorial on it anywhere
We need more the midnight cover 😭
There might be more in the future!
I literally got drunk yesterday and danced on this track loved it sir . Lots of love from India ❤️
That's amazing to hear! I will definitely do more of these in the future, from other synthwave artists as well, like FM-84, Ollie Wride, Gunship and Michael Oakley as well.
❤️ 2022
Fuckin righteous.

Best regards!
I'd stick an overdrive in front, and a delay in the FX loop. That should give you the sort of modern hi-gain sound you need.
You ripped that guitar well. You have the electric-style.
Nice
the cat xD lol
Nice moustache dude !
baddd ass!!!!
yo!!! where can i find this backing track ?
I just bought the digital track on Bandcamp and recorded my guitars over it.
@@MikaelTorseth can you please mail it to me if its not too much to ask for?
@@MikaelTorseth I am new to all these things and guitaring in general.
